Inventory: Guidance Notes to Tenants

  • You are reminded that it is your responsibility at the beginning of the tenancy to note any specific discrepancies on the inventory that you do not agree with i.e. marks in walls, carpets, etc. If no such additional notes are made by the tenant at the start of the tenancy, the inventory will be deemed as accepted and read.

  • This inventory report has been prepared to provide a fair and accurate record of the decor, contents, fixtures and fittings of the property.

  • The condition of the property at the start of the tenancy, as described in the inventory will be compared to the condition of the property at the end of the tenancy. Details of any alterations to the property after the inventory has been agreed upon should be noted on a separate addendum sheet and agreed by the tenant and the managing agent/landlord. At the end of the tenancy a Check-out report will be conducted to determine any changes to the inventory. The tenant should gain permission from the managing agent/landlord if they wish to remove or store any items during the tenancy and this should be confirmed in writing by the managing agent/landlord.

  • The inventory clerk cannot undertake to move heavy items of furniture or to make searches in inaccessible locations such as loft spaces, cellars, locked rooms and high level cupboards, or to unpack items. We reserve the right not to handle or move items deemed to be fragile or valuable.

    In addition, the inventory clerk reserves the right not to handle items that may be of a health hazard and to generalize/summarize on such items deemed to be unsuitable for further inspection.

Fire Safety

Furniture & Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 (1993)

  • The fire and safety regulations regarding furnishing, gas, electrical and similar services are ultimately the responsibility of the instructing principal. Where the Inventory notes "Fire Regulation Label Attached", this should not be interpreted to mean the item complies with the "furniture and furnishings (fire) (safety) (amendments) 1993".

    It is a record that the item had a label as described or similar to that detailed in the "guide" published by the Department of Trade and Industry January 1997 (or subsequent date). It is not a statement that the item can be considered to comply with the Regulations.
